The Giulietta isn’t sold in the US (your other comment indicates region).


No, you're correct. I meant Alfas in general here are selling below MSRP, not that particular model. Hot hatches don't sell nearly as well here as they do in Europe.


Ah gotcha. And yes you’re correct on that, Alfa’s re-entry into the US market has been such a mess, if I had to guess their only buyers are enthusiasts who know the brand and appreciate the tech or people who want something that isn’t BMW/Audi/Merc but still has some visual appeal. I hope they survive as one of the few remaining enthusiast brands, would be a shame for them to follow in FIATs footsteps.


That's something I've never understood: why do hot hatches not sell in the US?


worse yet - that individual has incurred healthcare costs at a greater rate than their "peer group" and the nudges turn away from mental health assistance to subtle suicide encouragement for the "common good" (lowering aggregate healthcare costs).


IMO the issue is the paywall is essentially "cloaking" by google webmaster standards. different content is displayed to the crawler (actual text of the article which gets indexed) vs the user (a paywall).

the content provider might not ask for the crawler but they are certainly catering to it - and benefitting from it.


dozens of congresspeople had to prepare their positions around reporting periods. this must have been the most opportune time :)


gated results are clearly cloaking right? displaying different content for googlebot vs the search user?

Kind of. When NYTimes or Medium only show the first bit of the article it's because you've exceeded your free allotment. Tracking number of articles read uses cookies, which Googlebot does not send.

Still, some sites may condition on User-Agent or otherwise present different content than a clean browser and I think those should be de-listed for cloaking.

there is an experimental[0] treatment for MS, the "immune system reboot". i am a layperson but my understanding is stem cells are taken from the patient, the immune system is "destroyed" through immunosuppressants and the stem cells are then used to rebuild a "naive" immune system in the patient.

based on the info in the OP, i wonder if the MS result from EBV is random; what is the probability of a rebooted immune system to follow the same path after exposure?

The initial susceptibility is mostly going to be predetermined by the MHC, and therefore remain the mostly the same. However, the pathological outcome is ostensibly a product of certain strains of pathogens plus luck of the draw on somatic hypermutation in response to said pathogen.


For something as rare as MS, "spin again" is ninety percent of a cure.


Jacobson was not force vaccinated. he paid a $5 fine following the ruling.


My point: compulsory vaccination laws are legal and have been upheld by the supreme court. I dare you to find a proper legal counterexample.


your original comment was that the state has a right to forcibly vaccinate citizens. i am simply contending that was not a result of jacobson v ma.


> - What level of state-sponsored violence is justifiable to further reduce that risk?

This is the line I'm responding to.

You know damn well that libertarians do this bullshit when playing with "use of force" language in these discussion.

A fine is "government use of force" to a libertarian. I'd rather not get stuck in the weeds over such details. But you're trying to pin me from the other side, and I don't appreciate it.


I check on this page every now and then hoping to find an update in favor of the author. Sad there’s been no update for such a long time.


Is unemployment in Canada an insurance as it is in the US? Can you opt out, are premiums taken from your paycheck?


You cannot opt out even if you are not allowed to use the service. Such as self employed people or 'anti vaxxers'.
